Groundbreaking bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains introduced a generation of young rock fans to their grainy, hard-edged brand of modern metal. The rise to prominence for these and other grunge monsters is detailed here, in Guitar World Presents Nirvana and the Grunge Revolution. The first section of the book serves as a tribute to the late Nirvana guitarist Kurt Cobain. It features revealing interviews with Cobain, a behind-the-scenes look at Nirvana's legendary MTV "Unplugged" performance, and an insider's guide to the making of their groundbreaking album, Nevermind. In addition, the book features interviews with many others who played key roles in the Seattle sound explosion, including Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Soundgarden's Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell. AnnotationThe rise of Nirvana and the subsequent runaway popularity of grunge music are the ostensible subjects of this entry in the GUITAR WORLD PRESENTS series. But this is no by-the-numbers Nirvana knockoff. In a collection of articles previously published in the magazine, the writers steadily build a detailed picture of the origins of the Seattle music scene and the careers of its most celebrated performers, including Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam. The book's main protagonist is, of course, Kurt Cobain, who is--unusually--glimpsed through the prism of his music, as are all the other major players here. He emerges as self-deprecating yet quietly obsessive, overseeing the construction of a custom-made guitar and authoritatively directing the band on its legendary MTV UNPLUGGED session. Writing for a guitar magazine seems to have liberated the authors from any pressure to sensationalize their subjects; what remains is a refreshingly honest look at some surprisingly innocent and enthusiastic musicians.
